Press Release: South African promoter Golden Gloves locked down two of its headliners for its opening show of 2018 at Emperors Palace on March 3rd. Rodney Berman confirmed that the Super Four featherweight fina will headline at the Kempton Park resort, with domestic featherweight champion Azinga Fuzile (9-0) against Lerato Dlamini (10-1). The other headliner has IBO cruiserweight champion Kevin Lerena (19-1) making his first title defense against Dmytro Kucher (24-2-1) of Russia.

Fuzile will be the main event favorite on account of his destruction of Tshifhiwa Munyai, but Dlamini won’t be easily beaten after his surgical points win against Simphiwe Vetyeka in the first round of the four-person, all South African tournament.

Lerena is on a hot streak, including his last win, a September split decision over African hard man Youri Kalenga. Kucher's last fight was a 2016 loss to ex-champ Marco Huck.
